'The Meow Project' On Cat Island Japan

"On May 11, 2011, when the earthquake and subsequent tsunami hit, the residents of Tashirojima, both people and cats, were lucky. The inhabited areas of the island are higher in elevation than the wave that hit. While there was still a lot of damage from the quake, everyone survived. It was a precarious 11 days before helicopters arrived with desperately needed supplies."
